Anyone looking for clothing will want to stop by 127 Westbrook Way in Lexington on Saturday from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m.

A two-family garage sale in Silver Creek subdivision at 221 and 225 Platinum Dr. in Lexington off Old Cherokee Rd. promises something for everyone on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. No early birds please!

Those looking for deals on large and extra large women’s and girls’ clothing will want to check out a yard sale at 829 Mallard Lakes Dr. in Lexington on Saturday from 7 a.m. until 12 noon.

Columbia sales are most likely to be on Saturday and early morning is the best time to go before everything is picked over. Be sure to carry cash, preferably in small denominations. Most people cannot accept debit or credit cards, and many will not take personal checks. If you’re going with a friend, share the ride, since parking near sales is often limited. It's always a good idea to bring your own large totes or shopping bags, since they are often not available.

With beautiful weather, yard and garage sales will be increasing throughout the season. There are not many this weekend, due to the 4th of July holiday. Listings will continue to appear through the close of the South Carolina State Fair in October. Get out early for the best selection and enjoy the holiday weekend!
